Giant barocaloric effect in neopentylglycol-graphene nanosheets composites with large thermal conductivity

We report the enhancement of the thermal conductivity of neopentylglycol (NPG) by compositing it with graphene nanosheets (GPNs). Adding 50 wt% GPNs enhanced the thermal conductivity from 0.42 to 18.4 Wm−1K−1, and the barocaloric entropy change can still reach 122 Jkg−1K−1 under pressure loading of...
